The Honda Celebration of Light is not only Vancouver's biggest event, but it's also the largest offshore fireworks competition in the world and attracts up to 400,000 spectators along English Bay each evening. Owned by the Not For Profit Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society, 2014 marks the 24th consecutive year of the event, which contributes in excess of $39 million in incremental tourism and hospitality spending each year.

Vancouver, Burnaby and NW...

The Burrard_Peninsula should have been planned as one city well over a century ago. Then eventually adding the Tri-Cities.
Unlike most of the region, theses 6 little cities don't have wide rivers or an inlet to hinder them.
Thus, it's more relatively easier to get around.
Greater Vancouver has been reluctant to build a few more bridges in the region. Bottleneck planning is the name of the game. Of course for most major urban areas around the world, rivers just aren't as much of a hindrance.
